Synopsis

This title recounts the key events of World War II with unflagging humanity, drama and straightforward explanations of their significance. This takes a unique approach which favours gripping storytelling over a strictly dry and plodding chronological account. It is authoritative, non-academic and appealingly designed with illustrations, maps and more. In a refreshingly fearless, colloquial voice, acclaimed historian Alan Axelrod recounts the key events of World War II with humanity and drama. Rather than chronologically relating the entire enormous history of the conflict, Axelrod helps make the events of the war understandable by identifying and focusing in on only the most significant stories in each theatre. Sidebars provide alternative histories, trivia and the truth behind popular myths.
